Willian, 26, and new signing Luis, 29, are part of the squad travelling to face Ferencvaros in Budapest on Sunday before returning to Stamford Bridge for a final pre-sesaon game against Real Sociedad.
Jose Mourinho's side had mixed success in their last pre-season outing - an Istanbul tournament in memory of the Soma mining disaster - where they beat Fenerbahce before losing late on to Besiktas in two 45-minute matches.
Costa started both games and the £32million hitman scored a brilliant goal against Fenerbahce, beating four defenders to open the scoring before Branislav Ivanovic added a second.
A defeat to Besiktas through Ersan Gulum's late goal denied them the title though as Besiktas came out on top.
